Thoughts on Thursday: Our big news

I haven’t done a Thoughts on Thursday post for a while, and I’d like to use this one to share a bit of personal news.

We at the Gibbs household are very pleased to introduce our new baby, James.

So far, he sleeps a ton, and when he’s awake he has a lot of opinions he’d like to express. (I swear he cusses at me sometimes.) He’s not on anyone’s schedule: he sent us to the hospital with contractions twice before he finally appeared, and he only nurses 5-10 minutes at a time, and he’d like to spend some time singing Joni Mitchell songs and circling the dining room table every night about 2 am.

But he has long little fingers and squishy little cheeks and you know what?
